Review for Wildlands Restoration Volunteers, Longmont, CO, USA
I have taken part in sereval of their projects and trained as a crew leader with them. I hate to gush, but they are well organized, professional, and effective. They work well with private, NGO, and government organizations to produce great results. They take good care of their volunteers, providing them with food and entertainment after a hard day's, or weekend, of work. Their training is professional and affordable for people of all walks of life. They invite volunteers to get involved in all levels of their organization from field work, to cooking, to crew leading, project planning etc. They are an open organization attracting peple from all walks of life.
I look forward to continue working with them.

Review for Denkai Animal Sanctuary, Grover, CO, USA
I have quit as a volunteer. Denkai is a disorganized mess. The volunteer events have been a joke. No messages sent out, no tools, or materials. The volunteers seem to be poorly treated, the volunteers often do not come back. Also, they do not have any team leads or coordination of effort. They do not train volunteers.The director has two facilities and does not seem to be able to delegate responsibilities and tasks properly. The isolation unit is filthy, and they are turning into a habitation for a staff member. The directory should step down and allow some one with real management skills to step in.

breaking my heart. There are far too many good animals in the shelter and are being under served. With proper care and advertising they could place more animals, have more volunteers helping, improve the facility, and better the quality of life of the animals.
